| Or the glow worm's light be gone | O |
| Dim and dead | P |
| In a cobweb hammock deep | Q |
| 'Twixt two ferns I swing and sleep | Q |
| Hid away | R |
| Where the drowsy musk rose blows | S |
| And a dreamy runnel flows | S |
| In the land of Fa ry | T |
| Where no mortal thing can see | D |
| All the elfin day | R |
